[mso] Re: Word 2003 - creating a document with two columns

Perhaps you would be better off using a table. Set the table for no
borders, and start a new row when you need to line up information
vertically.

Subject: [mso] Word 2003 - creating a document with two columns


I am creating a document that needs to have two columns with different
formatting but I am having a lot of trouble with it.  The reason it
needs different formatting is the column on the left needs to be
left-justified and the column on the right needs to be right-justified.
The text in both columns needs to line up in a certain way - like for
example, it needs to look kind of like this:

Name (left justified)                                   Date (right
justified)
Details (left justified)                                Place (right
justified)

I am really confused by how to get some information into one column and
some information into the other.  What is an easy way to work with
columns so you don't have text jumping all over the page?  Do you have
to fill up all of column 1 before you go to column 2, or can you easily
switch between the two columns as you go?

If I'm not making sense I can email you a copy of the document.
